If you’re like me, you sat up on your chair when S-tier character actor Kevin Tighe turned up in ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER. I had a wonderful conversation with him about it for The Reveal: thereveal.film/interview-ke...

I’m definitely not a baseball expert but i know enough about sporps to know that if the Big Story of the Season is about a guy nicknamed Big Dumper who’s legitimately good, you’re just not going to beat his team; he is armed with karmic forces beyond comprehension

Wanted to make a “the system is down” strong bad techno joke to my son about YouTube being down, but I couldn’t show him the strong bad video on YouTube. BUT luckily homestarrunner.com has its own native toon player. I’m trying to figure out how to make this about physical media and it almost works

Everybody! Everybody!

It’s incredible that the VT State Senator wrapped up in this hasn’t resigned yet — every major GOP leader in the state has called for his resignation. Fixing democracy requires restoring shame to public life. And accountability. Lots of accountability. vtdigger.org/2025/10/14/v...

One of these days I would love, upon seeing a news article about a famous and talented black man dying, to say “wow that’s old!”

Are there any fans of The Iron Giant who would want this ceramic tiki mug? I have been carrying it around with me for years and am certain someone wants it in a way that I do not. Thought I’d ask on here because there are film people and cartoon people and collectors etc

when someone claims they’re making a joke but no one can tell they’re making a joke than that’s sumerposting

One of the earliest examples of bar jokes is
Sumerian (c. 4500-1900 BC), and it features a dog: "A dog walked into a tavern and said, 'I can't see a thing. I'll open this one'." The humor of it is probably related to the Sumer way of life and has been lost, but the words remain. (1]

Isn’t the brassica olerica situation just like looking at the class Mammalia and being like “wait wtf these are all the same animal??” Wikipedia can say what it wants but like Brussels sprouts are not broccoli, idgaf

It started as a stock bro thing, like people would buy the dip whenever he did something crazy because they knew he’d chicken out and back off it within a few days and the line would go back up; the adoption of it by Schumer and them is imo bad because they’re using it to goad him to do insane shit

if we are going to have a supreme court that is as powerful as it is, i basically think justices should be forbidden from public comment on their work as well as any supplemental source of income while they are on the bench. (they should also ride circuit again but that's a bit separate.)

Andy Craig @andycraig.bsky.social · 3d

The substance of what she's saying is bad and unconvincing, but more fundamentally, I really don't think Supreme Court justices should be going on book tours where they publicly comment on their work and respond to criticism of it. Either put it in a written opinion or hold your peace.

Amy Coney Barrett defends heavy use of the shadow docket: "If we wrote a long opinion, it might give the impression that we have finally resolved the issue, and in none of these cases have we finally resolved the issue."
